April 14th
it would be so simple,
to step back into that dream

April 16th,
one class,
                monster +

April 17th (halfway) squirrel + Nat's BDAY @Avery? Gin + Tonic
Max is in the corner, coughing
up blood
world town above our heads
mushrooms and pipe dreams
sad poetry with your
guns up
birthday cards,
gin + tonic
your eyes never left
my face
couple of lovers left
__ before the sad sets in
I love the straight of
your nose + the set of your mouth
smoky lights outline
the night
guys are ***** w/ red
solo cups
sorry, he's too drunk
keep going till the
goldschlagger

locked out of our house
on our way to the angel's
kitchen

here's to Nat
tall like a tree
and just as wise,
quiet kind (and quite the friend)

Kady is almost here
Max left as I took my seat
stream of consciousness, drunken stream of consciousness

Max is in the corner, coughing up blood.
Mushrooms and pipe dreams intermingle above our heads.
Birthday cards,
gin and tonics,
well-wishes scattered throughout the room.

His (pleading) eyes never left my face.

There’s a couple of lovers left,
before the sad sets in.
I love the straight of your nose and the set of your mouth.

Smoky lights embrace the night.
Guys are ***** w/ red solo cups.
(sorry, he’s too drunk)
Keep going until the
goldschlagger...

here’s to Nat,
tall like a tree and just as wise,
quiet kind.
(quite the friend)

After we left, you found me in the kitchen.
Words don’t matter so much as
that earnest apology and the warmth
of your arms around me.

— The End —
